Hawks and Timberwolves Meet in Interconference Clash
The Atlanta Hawks take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Wednesday night.

The Hawks (13-38) check into Wednesday's contest in the midst of another underwhelming stretch, having dropped six of their last nine games. Their most recent stumble came against the Boston Celtics, which dropped them by a 123-115 score Monday night. Trae Young paced the Hawks with 34 points, supplementing them with seven assists, three rebounds and two steals. Kevin Huerter furnished 23 points, three rebounds and two assists. John Collins generated a 22-point, 11-rebound double-double that also included three assists, two blocks and one steal. Jeff Teague delivered 18 points, six assists, one rebound and four steals.

The Hawks will likely list De'Andre Hunter (ankle), DeAndre' Bembry (hand), Cam Reddish (concussion/hand) and Bruno Fernando (calf) as questionable at best for Wednesday's game. Jabari Parker (shoulder), Alex Len (hip) and Chandler Parsons (concussion) will both remain out.

The Timberwolves (15-34) come into Wednesday's game in even worse shape than their opponent, as they've dropped 12 consecutive contests. Their most recent stumble came against the Sacramento Kings, which edged them by a 113-109 score Monday night. Karl-Anthony Towns led the the Timberwolves with a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included six assists, two blocks and one steal. Shabazz Napier supplied 17 points, seven assists and three rebounds. Covington registered 15 points, eight boards, two assists, three steals and one block. Kelan Martin and Josh Okogie posted matching 12-point tallies while pulling down five and four rebounds, respectively. Wiggins mustered 10 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block.

The Timberwolves will likely list Allen Crabbe (knee) as no better than questionable for Wednesday's game. Jake Layman (toe) is expected to remain out.

Wednesday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Timberwolves hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 125-113 win Nov. 25.
